Last time I visited London, there was one sneaker brand I noticed people wearing the most by far when out and about: Adidas. Again and again, I saw them across the city, from Dalston to Soho. Given its collaborations with brands and designers like Miaou, Wales Bonner, and Yohji Yamamoto, it's especially popular among people in fashion.
When you think of Adidas, you might picture traditional pairs like Sambas and Superstars, but even around New York City, I notice less conventional styles all the time, like the Taekwondo Shoes, which went viral in 2025. Other examples include the Barreda Mary Jane, Samba Jane Shoes, and Tokyo MJ Shoes, all of which are Mary Jane sneakers. Then there are ballet-inspired ones like the Ghost Sprint Ballet and Taekwondo Mei Ballet, and various animal prints have been trending too, such as cow, deer, giraffe, leopard, and zebra.
Ahead, shop Adidas sneakers in a range of silhouettes, colorways, and prints, including on-sale options for up to 40% off—all under $150.

Silvana Armani spent 40 years working with her uncle, Giorgio Armani, gaining a deep understanding of the brand's core values, craftsmanship, and vision. Yet taking on the role of arguably the most beloved and respected figure in fashion is no small feat. With her creative experience, deep connection to the brand's legacy, and profound grasp of who the Armani woman is, though, she has proved through her early collections, especially her sophomore one, which debuted today, that she can successfully lead the Italian house into its new chapter. This seamless transition and forward-looking approach were especially evident with spring/summer 2027.
For her most recent collection, titled "Evolution," Silvana looked to the foundation on which the luxury fashion house was built: something strong enough to support everything that comes after it. Rather than recreating the past, she returned to the brand's defining elements and reinterpreted them through her own lens, evolving it without losing sight of where it began. As the brand explains in the press release, "Identity too can evolve without losing its essence." In this sense, the collection becomes a conversation between what Armani has been, what it is today, and what it can become.
The house's history shows throughout the collection, from its signature understated elegance to its emphasis on clean, sophisticated silhouettes. At the same time, these familiar elements were transformed through new proportions, sharp shoulders, fluid tailoring, and after-dark high-shine glamour. Introducing cotton for the first time added a fresh dimension, while butterfly motifs symbolized metamorphosis and the start of a new chapter. One look even featured images of Giorgio Armani on a jacket, creating a directional connection between the past and its evolving future.
Ultimately, what Silvana presented for spring/summer 2027 was all about building on the house's codes, letting them evolve while preserving their essence. It's unquestionably Giorgio Armani, but her own version. And her uncle would be proud. Keep scrolling to discover everything there is to know about the new collection.
Butterfly Effect
The metamorphosis of a butterfly was used as a symbol throughout the collection, representing how something can evolve while staying true to its identity. The butterfly's transformation from an egg to a caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally a fully formed butterfly mirrors the brand's personal growth and evolution while preserving its core identity. Inspired by this concept, Silvana took the idea a step further by incorporating butterfly motifs throughout the collection. Some gowns featured butterfly embellishments on the necklines, while blazers were finished with butterfly brooches. More appeared on accessories, especially layered necklaces and chokers. Some pieces were subtle while others were bold, but each represented the house's journey of growth, resilience, and evolution.

Cotton in Focus
Now that Giorgio Armani is under Silvana Armani's creative leadership, she is setting new rules for the brand's evolving language. One clear directive she is establishing is to make cotton central to the Armani collections. "He didn't like it; he thought it was too humble a fabric," she told WWD, referring to Giorgio Armani. "But I adore cotton, so I added it." While it marked a significant shift for the house, it was done elegantly. The fabric appeared throughout fluid trousers and Bermuda shorts, paired seamlessly with sporty anoraks, plunging V-neck blazers, blouses, and collarless jackets.

The '80s, Reimagined
If you've been paying attention to recent runway collections, you may have noticed designers leaning into the multifaceted era of the '80s, making it feel fresh and relevant today. Silvana's collection clearly echoed that approach. However, for the brand, it's not just about chasing trends—the time period holds profound significance for Giorgio Armani. It was a transformative, defining decade when Armani arguably set the look of the era by popularizing sharp-shouldered suits. The press release notes that Silvana channeled this rich heritage by drawing inspiration from the decade through "sharp shoulders, rhythmic geometries and metallic glimmers." Eighties-inspired strapless necklines and fringe also dominated the collection.

Opulent Neutrals
In her debut collection, Silvana paired classic gray, beige, navy, and black with vibrant accents of sage green, burgundy, cherry red, and dusty lilac. However, for her sophomore collection, Silvana scaled back on color, focusing on a refined palette of rich neutrals: ivory, black, and gold. This shift was intentional, though. "The… palette allows structure, texture, and movement to emerge," the brand shares in the press release. Plus, every shade served a specific purpose: "Black expresses strength, depth, and rigor; ivory provides a luminous counterpoint; gold adds energy, illuminating the surfaces."

Day-to-Night Footwear
For over 50 years, the Giorgio Armani brand has been synonymous with Italian elegance. But Armani has always been about practicality, comfort, and wearability. That balance was particularly evident in the spring/summer 2027 collection. Many of the looks felt as though they could move seamlessly from the runway into everyday life, particularly the footwear, which emphasized versatility and a day-to-night sensibility. Loafers and flats were designed with ruched details and woven colorblocking. Closed-toe ankle-strap kitten heels with touches of PVC fabric were also integrated and paired with sequin gowns and skirts. Neoprene boots with buckle details and exposed gold zippers accompanied the lineup, making sophistication feel effortless.

Maximilian Davis stepped into the creative director role at Ferragamo in 2022, at just 26, bringing a distinct perspective to the Italian luxury fashion house. Since then, he has turned the brand's archive into something modern, sensual, slightly rebellious, and definitely relevant. His most recent collection, which he presented during Milan Fashion Week, may be his most assured expression of that instinct yet.
For spring/summer 2027, Davis continued to explore stories of liberation, this time looking specifically to the women of the 1940s. "I was inspired by the women of the era who were taking ownership of their own narrative: who were subjects of imagery but also traveled the world to create their own," Davis says in the press release. "[During this time] clothing, and its structure, created a certain posture and propriety."
He considered everything, from pocket placement to women's fearlessness, shown through the patina of sun-faded leathers, natural fabrications, and prints that echo the topography of terrain. That sense of intentionality came through in other areas, too. Davis played with belts, using them as decorative, waist-defining accessories rather than for their functional necessities, while translucent rubber, closely resembling latex, appeared throughout trench coats, minidresses, pencil skirts, and cropped jackets. Elsewhere, drapery central to Davis's approach to scarf dressing offered a fluid counterpoint to the structured shapes (think strong shoulders, defined waists and firm fabrics) of the '40s.
The 63-piece collection turned up the glamour for the Italian fashion house. There was sensuality, but never a sense of trying too hard. The result was clothing for women who know exactly how they want to be seen and, more importantly, how they want to define themselves.
That idea of defining oneself feels particularly fitting for Davis, too. He may not have entered Ferragamo with the name recognition of fashion's biggest players, but since arriving, he has steadily asserted his own point of view, reshaping the house's identity. In many ways, he has done what the women at the center of his spring 2027 collection did: taken ownership and made it their own. Four years into the job, Davis has used Ferragamo's history as a foundation while establishing his own voice and helping the house stay relevant to a new generation. It's safe to say Ferragamo is in good hands with Davis. Keep scrolling to read all about the spring/summer 2027 collection.
Latexification of Luxury
One thing about Davis is that he's not afraid to experiment. This season, he pushed the boundaries of modern tailoring and style by integrating unique fabrics and finishes, most notably latex. He not only elevated the rubber material, making it look luxurious and redefining how we see it in fashion, but also executed this bold choice with the utmost elegance. How did he achieve this balance? By grounding the fabrication in classic silhouettes. Davis took simple minidresses, trench coats, pencil skirts, and fitted jackets and rendered them in shades of brown, olive, and muted blue. The translucent material gave off a glossy, wet look while clinging to the body in a tasteful and sculpted way.

Decorative Belting
For his spring/summer 2027 collection, Davis stripped the belt of its utilitarian function and reimagined it as a purely decorative, waist-defining accessory. Rendered in everything from simple black to rich brown leather, the belts became integral to the garments themselves. They were threaded through oversized belt loops on skirts and dresses and wrapped across the chest of thin-strapped dresses. In some looks, two belts were stacked together and threaded through the upper waist of suede and leather dresses.

Curved-Heel Stilettos
Davis doesn't come to play when it comes to accessories. If you had a chance to take a close look at the collection, you may have noticed Art Deco-inflected jewelry like sculptural drop earrings and cuff bracelets as well as beautiful bags—more on that in a little. But what I want to call out is the footwear, specifically the sculptural heels. Davis drew inspiration from Salvatore Ferragamo's F Wedges from 1947 and reinterpreted them as sleek, pointed-toe slingbacks—and modern wedges. Some featured a bow embellishment resembling the iconic Vara Bow shoes, while others were adorned with the same jewelry as the earrings or a simple yet elegant croc-effect leather strappy upper. All featured a polished, curved heel that reinforces the desirable, sensual appeal Davis has cultivated for the brand.

Close-to-the-Body Bags
Let's discuss the bags. The highlight was the new Cara bag, which debuted on the fall 2026 runway and has since been carried by celebrities including Bella Hadid, Emma Roberts, and Monica Barbaro. In the spring collection, the bag retained its distinctive accordion style and iconic Gancini closure, crafted in seasonal leather and suede. The beloved Hug Bag also appeared in an oversized clutch design in classic black, muted green, or rich burgundy leather, as well as in an east-west shape with a new crinkled double silk fabric. Whether or not the bags had straps, they were all worn as clutches and kept in constant contact with the body—held close as if safeguarding something valuable.

Nocturnal Elegance
While the entire collection highlighted the Ferragamo girl's unapologetic, sensual persona, the second half emphasized it with numerous occasion dresses. Some models wore tulle gowns that draped elegantly across the body, while others wore dense black sequin dresses that formed a lustrous, almost liquid surface and reflected light vividly. High necklines, off-the-shoulder designs, cape-like sleeves, and transparent panels that subtly flashed skin enhanced the confident and polished presence of Davis's muses.
